<description><![CDATA[A standard SIM card next to a MicroSIM card, which ships inside 3G versions of the iPad(Credit:Donald Bell/CNET)The micro-SIM card found in Apple'siPhone 4, both generations of theiPad, and an increasing number of mobile devices could be going on a diet once again. Reuters reported today that Apple has put forth plans to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) for a smaller version of micro-SIM that could bring extra space-saving advantages to mobile gadgets.&quot;We were quite happy to see last week that Apple has submitted a new requirement to ETSI for a smaller SIM form factor--smaller than the one that goes in iPhone 4 and iPad,&quot; Anne Bouverot, Orange's head of mobile services, told Reuters in an interview. Bouverot told the outlet that Orange as well as other carriers are backing the standard, which could go on to replace micro-SIM if it's adopted, which may be as soon as next year.SIM cards hold not just phone numbers, but a customer's identity as an active subscriber to a cellular network. The technology enables customers to hop between phones or other mobile devices by switching out the card, while retaining their service from one to the next. Since the SIM's introduction, these cards have been miniaturized twice, landing at its current smallest form, the micro-SIM.In October, GigaOm reported that Apple was working with SIM card manufacturer Gemalto to create a SIM card that was actually embedded into devices and would allow users to pick their carrier from the device without having to swap cards, and saving space within the design. Apple, and other manufacturers currently make the cards swappable, though this requires extra space within the unit, both for the card itself and its seating mechanism. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the initiative.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A security researcher said today that he found a serious hole in theMac version of Skype that could be used by an attacker to remotely take control of someone else's computer.  In response, Skype says it released a &quot;hotfix&quot;--a quick fix to hold users over until a full update is ready--for the issue in a minor update released in mid-April, but did not prompt users to update their software because there were no reports that the hole was being exploited in the wild and it was planning on issuing another update early next week.  Gordon Maddern, of Pure Hacking in Australia, says he discovered the vulnerability about a month ago. He was chatting on Skype to a colleague about a payload when the payload executed in the colleague's Skype client accidentally, Maddern writes in a blog post today.  He created a proof of concept that can be used in an attack but is not releasing details on it until Skype fixes the issue. He could not find the vulnerability in the Skype client for Windows and Linux, he said.  Maddern said he contacted Luxembourg-based Skype and received a note saying &quot;Thank you for showing an interest in Skype security, we are aware of this issue and will be addressing it in the next hotfix.&quot;  &quot;That was over a month ago and there still has not been a fix released,&quot; he wrote in his blog post. &quot;The long and the short of it is that an attacker needs only to send a victim a message and they can gain remote control of the victim's Mac. It is extremely wormable and dangerous.&quot;  In a blog post, Adrian Asher of Skype explains that the vulnerability &quot;is related to a situation when a malicious contact would send a specifically crafted message that could cause Skype for Mac to crash. Note, this message would have to come from someone already in your Skype Contact List, as Skype's default privacy settings will not let you receive messages from people that you have not already authorized, hence the term malicious contact.&quot; &quot;At the time they (Pure Hacking) alerted us, we were already aware of the issue and were working on a fix to protect Skype users from this vulnerability, as we take our users' security very seriously,&quot; Asher wrote. Updated 4:13 p.m. PTwith Skype saying it previously issued a hotfix and will release an update that addresses the vulnerability next week.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
